Former Man United favourite Peter Schmeichel publicly disagreed with Erik ten Hag in an awkward interview after the Red Devils’ chaotic clash with Galatasaray.
The two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at Rams Park on Wednesday with United leading 2-0 and 3-1, before being pegged back.
There was plenty to like about their performance but individual errors continued to cost them with Andre Onana guilty of two huge mistakes that allowed Chelsea loanee Hakim Ziyech to score two free kicks.
The result means United’s hopes of qualifying for the last 16 are no longer in their own hands, with them needing to beat Bayern Munich in their final game of the group stage and also relying on Galatasaray to draw with FC Copenhagen.
And when interviewing United’s boss post match for CBS Sports, Schmeichel called out ten Hag for his comments about the game.
‘I’m disappointed,’ ten Hag said when asked for his thoughts on United’s display. ‘We did many things very good but if you are twice leading 2-0 and 3-1, you have to defend better.
‘And it was poor defending as a team so we should have done that better.’
